Open Class on Cloud Native Technology
The term Cloud Native was originally used to describe the typical architectures and characteristics of cloud-based applications. With the evolution of containers, Kubernetes, Serverless and FaaS technologies, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) defined Cloud-Native as a basic technology that makes applications more elastic, fault-tolerant, and observable. It can also make applications easier to write and orchestrate. This technology can enable developers to make the best use of cloud resources, products and delivery capabilities.
Alibaba Cloud provides Public Courses on Cloud Native Technologies for developers, technical managers, and college students. This course is jointly developed by Alibaba Cloud and CNCF. The entire course is free of charge and requires no registration. We will provide you with:
- A comprehensive knowledge system for you to build your own cloud-native skill set
- An understanding of Cloud Native's essence and key ideas
- An online testing for each chapter to verify your learning progress
- Key best practices in Cloud Native from technical teams on the cutting edge of this technology
- New hands-on experience for CNCF is available now, check here for setup guidance.

Customer Success Stories
See how companies large and small are leveraging Alibaba Cloud to grow and improve their business
“Management was extremely easy. Compared with conventional cloud platforms, Container Service for Kubernetes reduced the cost of deployment and operation. Users can also easily scale out and scale in their application server.”
Steven Zhong | VP, Hotel and Owner Solutions, IHG Greater China
Founded in 2009, enish is a leading mobile game development and publishing company that is based in the heart of Tokyo. When constructing the system infrastructure for the game app De:Lithe - The King of Oblivion and the Angel of the Covenant, there was an urgent need to adopt a cloud platform that would enable smooth development of the service in the Tokyo region. enish utilized numerous services to reduce server costs by 30%. In particular, enish made full use of Container Service for Kubernetes, a fully-managed cloud container management service, to reduce the cost of deployment and operation.
"After comparing various services, only Alibaba Cloud was able to provide customers with a seamless communication experience between Japan and China. During development, Kubernetes, which we were familiar with, could be used with Alibaba Cloud, making it possible to deploy and launch the service within a short period of time."
- Kazuki Tanaka Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, NAVITIME Japan Co., Ltd.
NAVITIME has developed a variety of transportation-related businesses, which combines various means of transportation such as trains, airplanes, cars, buses, and walking. In order to release the service on the desired date, NAVITIME had to deploy the service to the cloud within a short period of time. Rather than deploying applications directly to virtual machine servers, NAVITIME decided to use a Kubernetes-based container service which NAVITIME had experience using internally. In just two weeks after the product was introduced, the system transition was completed and new services were released as scheduled.
“Investree deployed the application on Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes, which offers a more straightforward and customary way of transferring the application from on-premise to cloud. What’s more, since migrating a monolith architecture to microservices involves breaking up the monolith into its own, single service components, the migration took place in an incremental approach. This pattern reduces risk as individual components are built and implemented.”
Steven Zhong | VP, Hotel and Owner Solutions, IHG Greater China
Investree is Indonesia's leading B2B marketplace lending platform for SMEs. In consideration of SLAs, data portability, long-term costs, user management, and security, Investree decided to migrate the existing infrastructure to the public cloud. By leveraging the solution proposed by Alibaba Cloud, Investree completed the re-architecture from monolith to microservices; shortened its time of app development and deployment; reduced IT and resources expenditures; and improved reliability and agility.
"With Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes, BP Tapera is able to meet dynamic user requests and at the same time gain efficiency in infrastructure usage, such as auto scale-down when traffic is low and auto scale-up when traffic increases.”
Steven Zhong | VP, Hotel and Owner Solutions, IHG Greater China
The Public Housing Savings Management Agency (BP Tapera) is a public legal entity in Indonesia that was formed and mandated by law to manage public housing savings. BP Tapera was looking for a solution to run its core applications and non-core applications on top of a cloud platform. BP Tapera utilizes Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes to deliver its online application, which serves millions of users, and Alibaba Direct Mail service to communicate with its users. BP Tapera also uses Alibaba Cloud Express Connect to enable secure and reliable connection both through public and private networks.
